Squared Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 i don't think you need to get a skimmer. in a tank this small, cheato or some purigen will be fine. along with a good water change on the weekend. just trying to save you some $$$ anybody else think the same thing? also the aquatic life might be a little much for a tank so small.

I sort of think so as well but I think a skimmer wouldn't hurt my tank as well . Plus for 20$ why not? Lol Link to comment
SoFit Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Green algae all over my rocks but not on the glass Does not look like hair algae just green algae tho Link to comment
SoFit Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 I found 2 tiny ass aiptasia near my zoa how do I kill they still really tiny maybe a grain of rice size Link to comment
MetaTank Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Too bad they're near your zoa's, I just torched one with a propane torch today, but that is in a tank i recently set up that only has a CUC in it, no coral...I've heard good things about sealing them up with gel superglue, or smearing some kalk paste on them, though I cannot speak from experience for either of these methods.

Super glue gel... Interesting... Lol Link to comment
MetaTank Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Super glue gel... Interesting... Lol Yep, apparently if they've found a nice little hole to retract into when scared, you can potentially seal them up with superglue... But I have to say, I found it pretty satisfying to blast it with a blowtorch and watch it bubble into nothingness...and this is coming from someone who feels guilt for swatting a fly or accidentally stepping on a snail!

I had two aiptasia as well, One about 2" long and the other half of that. On the suggestion of another poster I put super glue gel and closed them in and have not seen them since. i would recomend it. Just make sure it is the "Gel". stick the tip in the hole and fill er up. Link to comment

MetaTank Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Oh yeah, if you use superglue gel, make sure it's cyanoacrylate based, and you're good to go! Nice sexies, cant wait to see them in the tank! Link to comment

SoFit Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Woke up and Found all 3 of my sexy shrimp sitting on my gsp purple mat while sleeping? Glad to see they are happy grouped together ... Leaving to Vegas today til Sunday so I will be having my sister feed them once a day while I'm gone. My ATO water bottle last for about 3-4 days so I will be fine. Link to comment
SoFit Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Fed my sexies some hikari seaweed extreme pellets and they ate it right up. I dropped 5-6 pellets in my tank and so far so good. The sexies seem very healthy eating the night after introducing them into my tank. They love standing on the rock where my gsp lives at..
